The process began in October 2013 with a microhouse—a 144 sq ft tiny house with a loft, a bathroom and a kitchen. To this we then added a bedroom, a mud room, a porch, a library/work space, an office, another bathroom, an utility room, and an aquaponic greenhouse. Together, these structures form a 2000 sq…

He is the brainchild of University of Edinburgh…
For those who have not given up their high quality SLR cameras or their vintage camera lenses for more compact smartphone cameras, you know how much purchasing, maintaining, and adapting a good quality camera can cost. Generally though, the quality of shots, along with the century old process of developing photos make the results worth…
We have already talked about this amazing project in our post last August. Now, to finalize the project and start manufacturing, 3DVarius is fundraising through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The 3Dvarius was born digitally in 2012, in Laurent Bernadac’s mind, the violinist and engineer who conceived it on his computer. He wanted to create an…
